Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the appeal proposal upon the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of the host dwelling
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of 11 Pontes Avenue and 14 Old Farm Close with particular reference to outlook

What decided it

The significant reduction in the building's height and visual prominence achieved through replacing the pitched roof with a 2.5m flat roof profile was sufficient to overcome the previous refusal and ensure the proposal would not significantly harm the character, appearance, or neighbouring living conditions.
